App Store Top Ten: Week of October 18, 2010

Cut The Rope’s OmNom is still gobbling up sales, and spent another week at the top of the charts. We love this little guy, and spoke to two of his creators, Efim and Semyon, in a pair of interviews. Angry Birds isn’t far behind at #2, though, and this week has some other surprises like Trainyard, Cartoon Wars 2, and Robot Unicorn Attack Heavy Metal Edition hitting the charts. Read on for the full results.

#1: Cut the Rope

Our Score: 4/4

Our Bottom Line: Cut the Rope is a charming, challenging, and– most importantly– fun puzzle game that nearly anyone will enjoy.

Last week, the first generation of iOS 7 controllers were officially revealed to the world and immediately became available for purchase. First we went hands-on with the Logitech PowerShell, and now we’ve had a chance to extensively test the MOGA Ace Power controller. While the Ace Power has more buttons and joysticks than Logitech’s controller, the flimsy plastic feel, limited battery, and spotty support on the App Store make us question whether it’s really the future of iOS gaming.

October was another fine month for iOS gamers, with a number of notable titles coming out across a variety of genres.
